Hi Suman
You weakness is no longer a problem if u turn it to an opportunity.
let me share some secrets with u in this regard
to start from basic- u worry about a language which is just a requirement to communicate. So I suggest, when u learn, learn the way it is- I'll tell u
1. MAKE ENGLISH UR MOTHER TONGUE Try to express everything in English –ur ideas, what u see, ur inner talks, etc,etc. Act and live as if u know only English. U may feel discomfort n confused in the beginning. Quite natural. its just because u r in want of more words, more grammar etc. Realize these r ur improvement areas. -tenses, propositions, any part, DON’T DELAY run to internet /library, experts, get it, n practice.. In short U MUST FEEL ITS NECESSITY.
2 FALL IN LOVE WITH ENGLISH.Give ur heart n win. Be patient n persistent because the development is gradual.Even miles long journey starts with a single step
3. READ, READ, READ, Comic books to magazines everything.Subscribe to an English newspaper(The Hindu). Cover all the pages patiently keeping urself enthusiastic. feel how the different ideas r finely ordered into sentences. Then its ur turn. once ur reading is over, pick up one matter which u feel the most interesting/informative n brief it enthusiastically assuming some illiterates r assembled before u & are eager to hear it. if needed Practice the same in front of the mirror too.
4 USE PHRASES- to keep ur language simple & attractive.
5 TRAIN UR TONGUE.Rewind and practice whatever u hear, see, read or learn, persistently. Let your ideas flow freely from ur brain to tongue without the translation of ur mother tongue in between.
6 STYLISH UR LANGUAGE. Watch English movies n news. record News in ur San disk. Listen to these recordings in ur leisure/travel time. U can see ur pronunciation is improving obviously. Also choose a role model (s)
7 DECIDE DEADLINES and periodically review the progress. Give a pat to urself for every improvement. Be proud of ur changes.
'U can never sacrifice ur ideas/performance for a language,so u develop ur language'
warm regards

There is a good-old saying in Tamil, ‘Drawing comes with practice of hand and the language with that of tongue’? So practice is the key. What comes in the way of practice is the fear of making mistakes. But there is no other way to learn swimming than jumping into water. If you want a safer way, try a swimming pool with shallow water before trying a river. Do you read the metaphor? There may be quite a few like you around you, who would also like to develop fluency in spoken English. Please form a support group who would mutually help each other. This is a great way to learn. Honestly, that was the way I built my repository of my vocabulary while in school. Each of us used to pick five new words daily from the dictionary and deliberately force-fit them into our conversations.
Reading certainly helps. And not necessarily newspapers, but what read what interests you in English like novels (it was Sidney Sheldon or Irwing Wallace during my times). Watching movies (the sub-titiled ones)can also help. Keep your ears open for the accent. If you have access to net, then you have also on-line dictionaries which come with phonetics.
Books to help you improve your English:
1. Spoken English by R K Bansal and J B Harrison
2. Pronounce It Perfectly In English (book and three audio cassettes) by Jean Yates, Barrons Educational Series.

Dear all,
It makes me feel proud to see how we indians are always on the top when it comes to lift someone else's spirit. When it comes to educate anyone, no one else stands a chance.
Outstanding help and suggestions from everyone.
"Suman-Please speak as and when you get a chance even just talking to yourself, it does help a lot in building up your self belief, if you have got access to ms word/outlook, its simple right click the word you dont understand and look for synonyms-this will be another turning point in understanding English from the base."
Kepe up the good work.
Many Regards

We are developing a solution for WEB Pages to be read and heard in Local Pakistani Languages. The Beta is launched at PakTranslations.com - Pakistan's First Machine Translation Portal. Anyone can visit a website through our website in URDU at present. In another 3 months this will be available in four regional languages of Pakistan namely PUSHTOO, PUNJABI, BRAHVI (for Baluchistan) and SINDHI. For those who can not read at all can listen to the webpages in one of the five languages selected above. We are considering to introduce the same Technology in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. We intend to go to Russian, Spanish and French too. Specially the Voice Part. The same facility will be available on SMS too. Sender sends the Text Message in English and enters codes for language selection and the option of Voice or Text transmission. Receiver will receive the message in translated text or voice. This project is aimed at eliminating Language as a barrier. With more languages being added, the world will be able to communicate through Machine translations with a touch of a key of a Cell Phone, PDA, Laptop or Desk-Top.
So Suman, If you have the subtitles we may help you translate the text in a Local Indian Language soon. Keep your fingers crossed and till then join toastmasters Club in your area and your English and Communication will both be much better in a matter of months with just one attendance of two hours every week. To know about a Club near you, go to Toastmasters International - Home and click FIND on the left top of the page.
